Women were bare breasted in Korea

The late Horace G. Underwood once told the tale of an American woman missionary who was offended by her perceived immodesty of the Korean women. According to Underwood, this missionary traveled through the streets of Seoul with safety pins and pieces of cloth and covered up the bared breasts of the Korean women she encountered.

Most Westerners were unaware of the significance of the breasts revealing jackets and merely thought of them as part of a quaint Korean custom, but only women who had borne sons were allowed to wear these jackets and thus they were a symbol of pride, and not shame.

No longer taking comments. Life has become too busy, updates will come about monthly now. I hope you learn something from the older postings. I feel good things for the lifestyle are always around the corner, as an eternal optimist, but I also see more healthy nudity in a society that loves freedom, good health, and joy. God bless.
